Chinese ICT giant Huawei has recently stated that net neutrality is an obstacle to internet service development. The company strongly supports how providing different levels of services is the best way to meet different customers’ needs; indeed, charging content providers would allow Internet Service Providers (ISP) to offer higher quality connection. A shining example is Netflix case: additional fees would permit to allocate greater bandwidth to support video streaming, leading to a higher quality of the service. Net neutrality advocates argue that this approach would cause the system to split into a two-tiered internet frustrating the fight against digital divide and, generally, open internet principles. Nonetheless Huawei insists this is an old mind-set that can’t be supported anymore since the situation has evolved and consumers nowadays have different service demands. And it’s exactly through consumers that Huawei tries to carry a point: European regulators are focusing their concerns on creating a competitive market rather than addressing customers’ new requirements. In UK, Royal Mail’s monopoly on postal services hasn’t prevented logistics firms such as FedeX to enter the market, meet different customers’ demands and they actually encouraged competition. What is happening now in the broadband market is precisely the same. This is the reason why Huawei has started to discuss the issue with other carriers such as BT and TalkTalk explaining how its approach has already been proved to work with China Telecom.
